              experiments at CERN make use of the Boost C++ libraries.
              The experiment's C++ programs have several millions of
              lines of code for the detector simulation, data reconstruction and
              data analysis and use several of the components of the Boost library.
              Examples of Boost libraries used are Any, Spirit, Date Time, Program Options, Regex, SmartPtr, Thread.</p>
